[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Add Wiki Link to Heading (#3041)

The Wiki is not _really_ an external site. It is hosted by OSMF and the root of the OSM community. No mapper should have to figure out that the Wiki is in box at the _bottom_ of the help page. 

Also, I've found the Wiki to be my **most-used OSM resource** as a mapper other than the site itself (for iD and carto). There should be immediate access for anyone who does or doesn't know about it.

The Wiki also acts as a community hub. Currently, we have OSMcal, regional mapping projects, links to other communication channels, and of course, tag pages - where mappers can learn more and discuss on talk pages about tags. **All** of these things are nonexistent on the main site itself and are vital to holding together the community.

I'm also a bit frustrated that you closed this based on your opinion alone, when the feature request clearly has support by numerous others.
